Austin Siblings Raise Awareness

of Gerrymandering

with Board Game

decided in summer 2017 that they wanted

to start conversations around the country

about gerrymandering, their memories of

discussions around their own table while

playing games came to mind.

When they could not find a gerryman-dering game with the mechanics of a great

board game—

scheming, strategizing and backstabbing

—they decided that was the

direction they wanted to take to address

the issue.

“Gerrymandering is a major cause of

our current political climate: it protects

incumbents, limits competition, and

increases polarization. In districts across

the country, it robs voters of their voice.

Nevertheless, gerrymandering doesn’t

receive enough targeted attention,” the

Lafair siblings explain on their Kickstarter

campaign page.

“Most news coverage and money pours

into federal elections—even though local

state elections are what influence gerry

-

mandering. In 37 states, the state legisla

-

ture is in charge of redistricting. Before

inventing this game (and doing more

research) we didn’t realize that most gover

-

nors in these states have veto power over

gerrymandered maps. It’s our responsi

-

bility to bring gerrymandering into the

spotlight, to put pressure on legislators and

governors who gerrymander. Redistricting

happens every ten years.

Gaming the system: Gerrymandering becomes a board game

May 14, 2019 at 6:00 am

The Lafair family dinner table, you see, was in Texas’ 10th Congressional District, which comprises a little bit of Austin (where they lived), a little bit of the Houston suburbs, and a large swath of countryside in between. The gerrymandering of the 10th District is almost comically transparent: It goes to great lengths (literally) to submerge voters from two Democratic-leaning cities 160 miles apart into a conservative district represented by Republican Michael McCaul.

At the time, Josh wasn’t aware of the intricacies and history of gerrymandering. It had been a recent topic of discussion at one of those family dinners, and to Josh, it seemed bad — it could make for a good game. “Scheming, strategizing, backstabbing — gerrymandering has all the right mechanics of a board game,” Josh told me. “Kind of unfortunately.”

This family created a gerrymandering board game. Arnold Schwarzenegger was pumped.

Kicking off on Kickstarter

The copies of Mapmaker that Josh unwrapped in front of the Supreme Court were fresh from the manufacturer, sent to him just a few days earlier. It had been a long journey from that brainstorming session two summers ago. Josh, Louis and Becca had spent the better part of a year nailing down the rules, going through four or five iterations and employing over a hundred friends, family members and random acquaintances at board-game nights to play-test their creation. They cannibalized parts and pieces from their family’s game collection to build prototypes. And they did their research, poring over articles and books on the subject, listening to podcasts like FiveThirtyEight’s “The Gerrymandering Project” and interviewing experts in the field like Jonathan Mattingly, a professor of mathematics and statistical sciences at Duke University.

On July 10, 2018, they launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the manufacturing of Mapmaker. For a contribution of $3,000 or more, they pledged to send finished copies to all nine Supreme Court justices as well as the state legislatures responsible for drawing congressional maps and governors who have veto power over them.

The Kickstarter was a hit. The Lafairs’ goal was to raise $15,000. Word spread on Reddit and various board-gaming websites. Then, at 3:13 p.m. came a tweet by movie star, former governor and anti-gerrymandering activist Arnold Schwarzenegger: “Thank you, @MapmakerGame! What a fantastic, fun way to educate people about gerrymandering. I pledged and can’t wait for my game (and the ones that will be sent to leaders around the country)! Join me and let’s #terminategerrymandering.”

Schwarzenegger donated $3,000, ensuring that copies would be sent to the justices, governors and state legislatures. And the Governator’s endorsement pushed the Kickstarter into overdrive. Within an hour of Schwarzenegger’s tweet, the Lafairs had reached their $15,000 goal, and in the weeks following they would raise a total of $67,490 from 1,468 backers. “We were absolutely amazed,” Josh recalls.
